Comments:

Remember back after week 6, when I
said the
Dolphins have a problem knowing how to win? Yeah, still
thinking that. I think it's just APR's love of teams that lose
close to highly ranked oppnents that's keeping them in the top 10
right now..

Remember when the Giants had posted three convincing wins, and
looked like they might have a chance to run away with the NFC
East? Even now they're not totally out of it, but with games
against the 49ers, Cowboys and Eagles still to play, they might have
trouble making it past 7 wins this year.

The Cardinals have lost Carson Palmer for the season, which
means that it's up to Drew Stanton to take them as far as he
can. I suppose the good news is, it's not that huge of a drop off
from Palmer to Stanton, the strengths of that team are really
elsewhere.

I don't think I've ever seen a teams playoff hopes dashed as
hard or as fast as the Bears have in their last two games. The
Bears haven't historically haven't been quick to fire their head
coaches, but Trestman is really the first one they've hired in the
social media era, and there have been calls for him to be fired,
even before the end of the season.

The Browns have a decent shot at just their third winning
season since their 1999 reboot, and their second playoff
appearance in that span. Note that APR has them ranked quite low,
at #19. But if you look at their schedule, they've got close wins
over teams like the Titans, Raiders, and Buccaneers, and an 18
point loss to the currently 1-9 Jaguars. It's certainly not the
most impressive resume in the league right now.
